PCGamesN Friday, March 4, 2022 5:45 AM  Smilegate RPG and Amazon Games have revealed how exactly they're making Lost Ark's Guardian Raids and Abyssal Dungeons less "tedious than fun". We also have some decision rationale and heaps of other quality-of-life changes. While some parts of Abyssal Dungeon encounters have been made more accessible, most of the changes are focused on making specific mechanics clearer to understand. For example, Smilegate RPG has improved the visual effect of Sigmund's colour wave attack in the Necromancer's Origin dungeon to make it easier to follow. The Phantom Palace, however, has seen the most changes. The Phantom Legion King from the Hall of the Twisted Warlord encounter has had their attack pattern changed to make it more manageable. Guardian Raids, meanwhile, have seen a fair few nerfs. Vertus won't stun players as much and will deal less damage, while Nacrasena, Lava Chromanium, and Levanos also have decreased damage output. Flame Fox Yoho, meanwhile, has less health overall and packs less of a wallop. RELATED LINKS: Best MMOS and MMORPGs on PC, Upcoming PC games, Best fantasy games on PC |
PCGamesN Friday, March 4, 2022 5:29 AM  Elden Ring has finally arrived – with an expansive open world filled with a plethora of subterranean catacombs and caves, brimming with beasties and bosses for you to defeat. Given how difficult Soulsborne games can be, it's wise to ensure your gaming PC is using the best Elden Ring settings for performance. After all, the last thing you need is for your frame rate to plummet while exploring The Lands Between or fighting to protect your precious runes. Developer FromSoftware hasn't really changed its approach to PC ports since Dark Souls 2, so veterans of the studio's games should feel right at home in the settings menu. That said, Elden Ring will receive a ray tracing patch at some point in the future, which marks the first time the developer has implemented the technology in any of its games. Unfortunately, some bad habits have also made their way into the PC port of Elden Ring. The game is limited to 60fps and features no ultrawide monitor support, as with previous FromSoftware Soulsborne games. There's also no sign of upscaling features like AMD FSR or Nvidia DLSS, or other technologies unique to the platform like Nvidia Reflex.

PCGamesN Friday, March 4, 2022 5:20 AM  Want to know how to evolve weapons in Vampire Survivors? This roguelite indie game is rapidly gaining in popularity, as players discover the sheer joy of walking around a forest or library, slaying an ever-growing encroaching horde of monsters that just want to be very close to you. It's a relatively simple game to play, but mastering it and unlocking Vampire Survivors characters can get a little tricky if you don't spec into the correct build from the start. To evolve an item in Vampire Survivors, you must first level up a weapon to its maximum level, collect its linked item when it appears on the level up screen, then kill a boss monster and open the chest it leaves behind. Unfortunately, you only have a few slots for weapons and items, so you must choose carefully. The items that synergise well with a weapon aren't necessarily the items you need to evolve them, so while you'll want to pick up the candelabrador if you have the garlic weapon, you also need a pummarola to power it up. To help you figure out which items to keep, we've put together a list of all the possible Vampire Survivors weapon evolutions and which items you need to pick up when you level up. |
PCGamesN Friday, March 4, 2022 5:20 AM  Want to know how to unlock secret characters in Vampire Survivors? When you start your first run you only have a handful of characters and a few weapons available. However, on each playthrough, more items, weapons, and characters unlock for you to use in future attempts. These items are vital if you wish to use Vampire Survivor weapon evolutions to maximise a weapon's damage output. The game also locks new characters behind requirements, such as leveling up your gear to a certain threshold, finding items in a level, or slaying a quota of monsters. Some of these unlock conditions are somewhat vague, so we thought we'd list how you can get all of the Vampire Survivors characters, weapons, items, and levels. We also have a cheat code that you need to type to get another hidden vampire slayer and steps to access a secret character that requires you to tinker with the game's code. |
PCGamesN Friday, March 4, 2022 5:33 AM  Looking for more information about the new characters coming to Genshin Impact? Since its release in 2020, the addictive anime game has seen plenty of regular updates expanding on the game's content - and adding several new characters by way of limited time banners. According to Mihoyo's Genshin Impact roadmap, they aim to release new updates every six weeks - and if past experience is anything to go by, during each new patch, there will be at least one new banner with a new Genshin Impact five-star character, and possible new four-star characters included as well. That said, several new Genshin Impact characters have been added outside of this schedule, like Genshin Impact Klee - so we could see new characters arrive unexpectedly, too. Yae Miko is the most recent new character to arrive in the Genshin Impact 2.5 update, but there are also a few leaks and some datamined information concerning new characters that may appear in future Genshin Impact updates and beyond. However, until they're officially announced, these characters are not final and may be subject to changes.

PCGamesN Friday, March 4, 2022 5:47 AM  The League of Legends updates are coming thick and fast. LoL patch 12.5 has hit the live server, introducing a wonderful selection of bee-inspired skins to the MOBA. Don't bee-lieve for one second, though, that's all we got. Riot has tweaked Master Yi and Seraphine with some solid changes, while several other LoL champs got some quality-of-life adjustments, too. Now, though, it's time to look toward LoL patch 12.6. We're sticking with the animal theme this time around as the new Anima Squad skins have hit the PBE. If you've been out of the loop, a few champions - such as Vayne, Miss Fortune, and Jinx - are getting some punky skins themed around bats, bunnies, cats, and more. You can check out the in-game clips of these in action and their splash art in the skins section below. We're quite early into the patch cycle, so we don't have many balance changes to share just yet outside of a few items. Keep checking in, though, as we'll keep this post regularly updated.

Good Smile Company is releasing a scale figure of Tanjiro from Demon Slayer performing the Hinokami Kagura dance. The figure will come in a box that recreates a scene from the 19th episode of the first season of Demon Slayer. The Hinokami Kagura sword effect and background scenery also feature light-up effects. The figure is immediately available for pre-order and costs $750.99. Pre-orders are open until August 31, 2022, and it will ship sometime in December 2023. https://twitter.com/GoodSmile_US/status/1499580420396134400?s=20&t=Rgyuhr8XllLvql5eMx4xBg Unlike most figures, the Hinokami Kagura Dance figure features detailed backgrounds that recreate the entirety of Tanjiro's iconic scene. As such, the figure is larger than most and comes in an approximately 10 x 12 x 14-inch box. In addition to the night sky and forest that surrounds Tanjiro, the figure also recreates Rui's Blood Demon Art threads. The Nichirin sword's Hinokami Kagura flame effect is large and protrudes slightly from the box. The flame effect can light up with a bright orange hue and has a pulsating effect. Similarly, the background also features its own lighting effect that resembles a moonlit sky. You can get a better look at the Demon Slayer Hinokami Kagura Dance Figure from various angles in the screenshots below: [gallery columns="5" ids="918745,918746,918747,918748,918749,918750,918751,918752,918753" link="file"] Earlier last month, Good Smile Company also opened pre-orders for the Demon Slayer Tengen Uzui Nendoroid. After the season finale of the Entertainment District Arc, ufotable released a teaser trailer for the upcoming third season of Demon Slayer as well. The Demon Slayer Tanjiro Kamado Hinokami Kagura Dance figure is immediately available for pre-order on the Good Smile Company store. The figure will cost $750.99, and pre-orders will be open until August 31, 2022. The post Demon Slayer Tanjiro Hinokami Kagura Dance Figure Preorders Open appeared first on Siliconera. |
